Dear Hawk,
You are THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot, I discovered this 6 Gb whale of a folder
while wandering one day.....since the files were compressed by WinRAR freeware, I
figured it was some archive setting or spyware...so I deleted WinRAR (saved backup
so no prob). When the #%$# whale kept getting bigger, I knew that wasn't it. next
suspect was Norton......but noooooooooooooo...
Your simple method worked perfectly! Now my question is what idiot drempt this whale
up??? Don't they realize what it is going to do over time??????
Thanks again!!!
Joe
